Haste The Day is preparing for the release of their third album, Pressure The Hinges on March 20th on Solid State Records. They have released on their Myspace page their new single “Stitches” and are headed to LA to film the video for that song.

“Stitches” was written by Haste The Day members Brennan Chaulk and Stephen Keech and Keech states what the inspiration behind it is, “Everyone knows at least one person in their life who destroyed their life with drugs or alcohol. The song is about the need of intervention from a loved one (friend of family member), and the use of five words that can change that person’s life: you're worth more than this. Sometimes we, as the loved one, have a hard time saying those words creating stitches in our mouth.”

The video was shot in California and shows a powerful band performance with undercutting images between two different stories. Both stories will have the same theme; however each story will have an individual feel, characters and problems.

After selling over 100,000 copies of their combined albums, Haste The Day is prepared to have a blow out third release that includes not only the single disc album, but also a deluxe version with bonus tracks and DVD including 2 live shows, past music videos and more. You can also pre-order the new album at Interpunk and receive a limited edition 7" split featuring two songs from aste the Day and From Ashes to Autumn.

The band hits the road on tour co-headlining with From Autumn To Ashes starting March 6th in Buffalo, NY. The only show in the New York area is at Irving Plaza on April 20th.
